Chapter 496 - Give Him Friendship and Warmth (2/2)

After the game reopened, Roland entered the game again.

Waking up in his lab, Roland found that he had another two free specializations. They were the rewards for winning the game.

After considering for more than ten minutes, he chose two specializations that were very suitable for him.

Extraordinary Smartness: Intelligence +1

Magic Power Coordination: Magic power upper limit +30

The increase of Intelligence could improve the power of a Mage’s spells and slightly increase their magic power capacity. Magic Power Coordination could also increase the upper limit of magic power. The thirty points were a major improvement.

During the chaotic battle, Roland had realized that the Mage was truly very short of mana.

Even a great expert like Mordenkainen had built the floating city mainly because it could provide almost infinite energy for him.

If Roland had abundant magic power at his disposal at the beginning of the match, he could’ve gotten off to a better start.

His mana wouldn’t have run out after he flew for a few minutes.

After selecting his specialties, Roland came to the bedroom. Andonara wasn’t in bed, so he went downstairs and found Andonara making breakfast in her pajamas.

Roland walked to her and hugged her for a while.

Andonara was slightly confused. After all, Roland was pa.s.sive most of the time. He was never this willful.

She decided to drop it since she couldn’t think it through. She was a lot happier feeling Roland’s love for her.

For Andonara, Roland had never been gone. But for Roland, it had been more than ten days since he last saw Andonara. Naturally, he missed her.

His life then became peaceful, if not boring.

Roland continued studying magic, and Andonara took care of him.

A month pa.s.sed. Then one day, Alfred the Great Elder invited Roland to his study.

The study wasn’t very large, with only two black wooden shelves that didn’t display many books.

Alfred was sitting before the bookshelves. Seeing Roland, he pointed at the chair on the opposite side of his desk.

Roland sat down.

According to rumors, the Great Elder seemed to be more than a hundred years old, but n.o.body could tell his age exactly. He still looked like a man in his fifties, and he was healthy and energetic.

“Roland, the leaders of the Council of Elders are going back to the Fareins Kingdom, mainly to meet up with the leaders.h.i.+p of the Church of Light.”

Roland was slightly confused. Why would the Great Elder tell him this?

“While we meet with the leaders.h.i.+p of the Church of Light, we will leave some privileges, for example, permission to enter the Grand Library of Light.” Roland’s eyes immediately glittered.

At this moment, Roland had studied spell models and magic arrays profoundly. It wouldn’t be bad if he had a chance to study theurgy.

However, not everybody could enter the Grand Library of Light Although Schuck was a Saint Samurai and had a lofty position in the Church of Light, it was not easy for him to let an outsider enter the library.

But the case would be different if the Church of Light intended to make a deal with another major force. “So you want me to come with you, Great Elder?”

Alfred said with a smile, “You are a diligent learner, and you love reading books in the library. I think you should have this opportunity.” “Thank you, Great Elder.” Since the guy gave him such a great privilege, Roland wouldn’t mind fawning over him. “Great Elder, whenever you need me, just say the word. I’ll do it as long as I can do it.”

“You’ll do it only if you can do it?” The Great Elder shook his head with a helpless smile. “Aren’t you cunning? Okay, you can go back now. We’ll set off the day after tomorrow.”

Roland stood up and asked, “Can I take someone with me?”

“I know you can’t leave your queen behind. Bring her with you. There’s enough room for her.”

Roland smiled.

Soon after Roland left, Murphy came in with a piece of paper. “Great Elder, something is still not right,” Murphy said. “I’ve checked all the port registration records and the rental records of the flying boats. Neither Roland nor the queen is on them. How did she come to the Red Magic Tower across the ocean from tens of thousands of kilometers away when Roland was on vacation?”

The Great Elder thought for a moment and said, “She might have set off a long time earlier and arrived exactly when Roland’s vacation was over.”

“But she should’ve been registered at the port. She’s too beautiful to escape anyone’s attention.”

Deep in thought, the Great Elder subconsciously scratched his beard.

Murphy continued, “Also, based on the intelligence we acquired from Hollevin, Roland was indeed in Delpon during his vacation.”

“Are you suggesting that they’ve created a spell that can teleport multiple people?” Alfred said with a weird smile. “Is it a spell or a magic array?”

“I think it’s the latter,” said Murphy. “Roland has been studying magic arrays. He may have made a breakthrough and combined Long-Distance Teleportation with a magic array.”

Tapping the surface of the desk, Alfred was deep in thought and used more and more strength, until the desk was cracking. In the end, he moved his right hand back and said slowly, “Roland is truly a genius, but are you exaggerating his intelligence? Even the Monochrome Magic Tower hasn’t achieved multiple-person teleportation yet. Do you not feel that Roland is too young to do that?”

“According to common sense, it’s impossible.” Murphy shrugged and said, “But some people defy common sense, such as Mordenkainen and Melf. I still maintain what I said before. Roland will be similar to Mordenkainen and Melf after he grows up.”

Alfred slightly nodded. He thought for a moment and asked, “If Roland has indeed created a multiple-person teleportation spell or magic array, what do you plan to do?”

“How about we ask him to submit it?” Murphy took a deep breath and said, “He can’t expect to monopolize such a spell.” Alfred chuckled. “Why can’t he? He’s an undying Golden Son. How do you plan to threaten him? Also, he’s not a weak fighter at all. I’m afraid that we might not be able to catch him even if we can suppress him. He can teleport.”

Murphy heaved a sigh. “But my heart is itchy every time I realize that he has the ability to teleport multiple people. I want to see the spell model immediately.”

Alfred comforted him. “Don’t be hasty. Let’s take things slowly. I’m going to take Roland to the Fareins Kingdom. I told him that we’re visiting the Church of Light, but I’m actually hoping to let him meet the First Princess. Considering Roland’s predilection for mature women, he will probably hit it off with the First Princess. We’ll give him some benefits and let him experience the warmth of the Fareins Kingdom. One day, he’ll become one of us. Then, even if he doesn’t submit his new teleportation spell or array, it still won’t be bad because the skill will stay within Fareins.”
